Friends of the Garden Museum

The Place where thinking gardeners meet, where you can find out what’s going on and what went before

– Tom Stuart-Smith

Membership of our Friends’ scheme opens the door to our exciting programme of temporary exhibitions, exclusive private gardens and bespoke garden visits, and the chance to rub shoulders with the gardening greats with reduced ticket prices at our talks and lectures.

By joining as a Friend you become part of a camaraderie of kindred spirits with a passion for gardens and gardening, as well as gaining free entry to the Museum and exhibitions, and receiving our regular e-newsletter and beautiful bi-annual Journal. In addition our shop, which is a treasure trove of gardening goodies, gives Friends a 15% discount.

The Garden Museum is closed for redevelopment until April 2017. From that time your support will be all the more important. Friends will be invited to visit the new Museum before the doors reopen to the public. For more information about the Garden Museum Development Project click here.

As well as supporting the Museum, Friends benefit from:

Reduced rate tickets for Museum events

Two issues of the Garden Museum Journal per year

Regular e-bulletins to keep you up to date with our news, events and future plans

When the Museum reopens, Friends will receive:

Free unlimited entry to the Garden Museum and its temporary exhibitions

15% discount on purchases in the Garden Museum shop
